Our Musicing Should
Reflect God’s Light
1John
1:4-5, “And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. his then is the message which we have heard
of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at
all.” Every Christian musician’s
musicing should be a message of God’s light.
It is no wonder that the Bible commands Christians to praise. Christian musicians have a right to be full
of joy and to have that joy reflected in his or her musicing. As Christian musicians, we need to guard
against allowing this dark evil world to influence the tenor of our sacred
musicing with the hopelessness of a life lived without the light that God
shines into this world.
Much of
the secular music that has been recorded in the last century represents the
darkness of these musician’s hearts. It
is a fact that many times musicians who do not know Christ live surrounded by
darkness and despair. However, Ephesians
5:14 gives hope to those who are dead in trespasses and sins when it promises, “Wherefore
he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall
give thee light.” So, those of us who
are walking in God’s light should take a moment to thank God for the light of
His presence.
Thought for the Day
There is an element of
truth in Bob Marley’s quip, “Don’t worry be happy”. A Christian’s musicing should reflect joy instead
of worry.
